This is the difference quotient. An example of how to use the equation is as follows:
f(x) = 2x - 1
Plug it into the difference quotient:
And solve simplify:
Other notes:
REMEMBER: the Domain is the set of possible inputs. The Range is the set of possible outputs.
Consider the equation function f(x)=2x-5
- The Domain on this
equationfunction is (-∞,∞), because you can plug any number into the equation to yield a useable result that makes sense with the graph.
Now consider the equation function
- The domain for this
equationfunction is (-∞,3)U(3,∞). The graph cannot touch three, because the denominator cannot equal zero.
Lastly, lets look at the equation function
- This
equationfunction has a domain of [5,∞). the input has to be greater than or equal to five because you cannot take the square root of a negative number.
